You're asking about cron, which is the wrong question. Run a local MTA and have it relay everything through the remote SMTP server. This is 3 lines in a Postfix configuration file [1] (only 1 line if you don't require authentication). Any MTA can do this, as it is a very common setup. Then all programs (not just cron) that use the sendmail binary or relay to localhost:25 will work automatically.
